Overview

The landscape architect had designed an Escher Park.. he .proposed these large lizards in solid colors... we have collaborated for the NFS with a biologist from the University of Nevada Las Vegas.... and thought they could be much more than first conceived. The biologist brought indigenous lizards to the park, we photographed them and made these lizard portraits - transforming the park into interpretation as well as fun.
